In a social experiment by Don’t Get Screwed Over, people were given the chance to know what it feels like to be a freelancer.

In the video ‘What It Feels Like To Be A Freelancer’, passers-by were offered $5 for a drawing.

And after a handshake agreement, they set to work on what they were requested of (such as a bird, boat, or island).

But after they handed in their work, expecting five bucks in return, they were met with unexpected disappointment.

The video was created for a site that helps to raise awareness of the benefits from working with legal documents when freelancing—hoping to help freelancers not get ‘screwed over’ because of miscommunications or just bad luck.
